Redbridge staff raise funds for charity
Redbridge Produce & Flowers Fishguard
branch sponsored a local school's fundraising for the World
Cancer Research Fund by donating fresh fruit; the school raised
£92 for the charity. RP&F Gateshead branch sponsored
5000 pieces of fruit for local schools in the South Shields
area for the same charity. They also handed out information
on healthy eating and 5 a day.
Peterborough head office raised over £600
for 12 different charities during 2004, including Crisis,
Macmillan Nurses, and the NSPCC, through "dress down
day" donations.
Head Office accountant Hazel Newell
completed a 13,000 ft tandem skydive with her husband to raise
£1800 for Great Ormond Street hospital; and a group
of staff from Caterfresh are planning a parachute jump later
this year to raise funds for the Francis House Children's
Hospice; contact claire.megarry@caterfresh.com
to pledge cash for this worthy cause.
 British
Heart Foundation
As part of our charity programme Redbridge
has built an alliance with the British Heart Foundation to
promote the link between a healthy diet and a healthy heart.
Eating fresh fruit and vegetables daily
helps improve our health; in addition most fruit and vegetables
are fat-free, so they are perfect for anyone trying to reduce
cholesterol or calories in their diet.
Redbridge staff get involved in regular
fundraising for the charity - in 2003 we raised £16,000
for BHF - as well as training in resuscitation techniques
to help save lives.
Tolworth Finance Manager Larisha Engelbrecht
recently completed the London to Brighton cycle ride to raise
money for the British Heart Foundation. The gruelling 60 mile
journey was completed in around six hours, with a break for
lunch.
